Hi Charles,
Do you know if any user agents support that media type? (Or 'braille'
which might be the obvious choice from the CSS 2.1 spec).
Knocking up a quick test page:
http://alastairc.ac/media_type_test.html
Moz & IE6 show only all & screen on viewing, and only the all/print
types when print previewing (correctly I assume).
However, JAWs only reads the all/screen types, not the speech type.
Technically incorrect, but perhaps practical? (Results from other screen
readers would be useful.)
Do the braille readers understand their media type? I don't have access
to one, but since most use something like JAWs as an intermediary
anyway, I would guess probably not... as there aren't many sites that
use them, it is something of a chicken & egg situation.
Kind regards,
-Alastair
